## Resource

Frankie Muniz (Malcolm in the Middle, NASCAR) joins us this week for an honest and energized conversation about the long road to bringing Malcolm back, the physical and mental toll of racing full time in NASCAR, and what it really feels like to juggle two careers at the highest level. Frankie opens up about the emotional final day on the original series, what Bryan Cranston means to him as a father figure, and the identity crisis he faced when the nonstop pace of his life finally came to a halt. We also get into the truth behind his widely misunderstood memory issues and why, despite everything he has accomplished, he still feels like he has not done enough.
